Aransas NWR

The Aransas refuge is beautiful. With the past year's rains there is water everywhere and the resulting mosquito population seems to be holding its own. In spite of rubbing deet on all of her exposed skin Lorna is covered with welts. Thankfully I do not react to the bites, but I really got chewed up.

Whooping Cranes are notoriously difficult to get close to, so I was quite pleased with these photos of the birds.
